Giovanni Battista Moscaglia

Last updated: 2 hours ago

Most of Moscaglia's life was spent he Rome. He served in the Cappella Giulia until 1560 but after this date there is no indication of his musical appointment(s). He asked a number of composers with whom he was familiar to set his poems to music. These composers included <a href="spotify:artist:4usynB7KhMwPm78CLI86rn">Nanino</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2hxhp2g83CJyM46a2owWjD">Macque</a>, Stabile, Zoilo, Giovanelli and <a href="spotify:artist:3M0Vsjmhfly4PRGywWmNYX">Marenzio</a>. Apparently he did not think that he had enough time at his disposal to render these poems properly into musical forms. A number of books of madrigals by Moscaglia were printed during his lifetime. Most of the madrigals were set for either three or four voices. These works appeared in a number of different anthologies including transcriptions for lute by Joachim van der Hove. ~ Keith Johnson, Rovi
